How to create data entry forms in Excel? In this tutorial, I show you how to easily make a data entry form in Microsoft Excel without VBA. Data entry forms can make adding data to an Excel spreadsheet much easier and with less mistakes. This can be great for databases containing addresses, customer information, or anything that requires data to be added to Excel. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions while you create data entry forms in Excel.

Follow the steps below to create a data entry form in Excel:
1. Open Excel and add the data entry form headers that will represent the names of each field in your form.
2. Select all the fields then in the top meu select Insert then Table.
3. In the Create Table menu select My table has headers and then select OK.
4. Now right click the top menu in Excel and select Customize Ribbon.
5. In the Customize the Ribbon menu select New Tab, then rename the new tab to Data Entry.
6. Now select the new group under the new Data entry tab you added.
7. Select the dropdown title Choose commands from and select Commands not in the Ribbon. Scroll down and highlight Forms then select Add. If you get a warning make sure you have the group under the new tab selected before adding the Form to the Ribbon.
8. Select OK to save the new Ribbon customizations.

10. Add your data to the fields in the form menu and select New. The data will then be added to your spreadsheet.

Thank you for the helpful video! I recommend trying the VeryPDF PDF to Excel Converter. This Windows software can automatically convert PDF files to Excel spreadsheets, allowing you to bulk combine PDFs while preserving formatting.

Hi.. Is there a way to add drop down list? thkx for data validation?

[roxlee]

Can a form be generated in reverse? For example I have a spreadsheet with data (that has grown and become a "progress tracker") and I'd like to view and edit in a line by line format in a form. Can that be done?

[CurrentElectrical]

I wish it could be done as easily on a mac with no option to add a Form in the ribbon.

Thank you for this! I’m creating a tool for employees. Will each user need to go through these steps to set up the data entry tab, or will that formatting be saved in the file itself?
